Quote: Bull Mania "Some very interesting results this week. Is it beyond the realms of possibility that we could finish in the top 5? Before anyone shoots me down I think we'll probably finish mid-table come the season end. But there have been some very intersting results this weekend. Dewsbury beating Widnes comfortably. Halifax thumping York.
There is a clear top 4 in London, Fev, Toulouse and Leigh. But no one is making a case for that 5th spot, so why not us? We narrowly lost to both London & Fev who look a class above the rest of the league. Yesterdays second half was frustrating but I don't think we've done bad at all. Certainly better than how I thought we would go before the season started.
Widnes looked bang average and got comfortably beaten by Dewsbury.
Halifax up until the York game only has a last second victory over Sheffield. Are they consistent enough?
York are without a win and have London and Fev next. Only scored 14 in 3 games. They could be on 0 points after 5 games.
York will prob beat London, we'll lose to Sheffield to make this thread utterly pointless this time next week. But again I ask, why not us? The results so far show that the above teams aren't THAT much better than us.'"
I think the conditions are still playing a huge part in the results.
Knee deep in mud, howling winds and sleet most definitely level the playing field. And i include our games against Fev and London in that.
I say this without eny evidence and may be proven wrong but have there been any major upsets at London, Sheffield or Widnes. Those games played on the astro turf might give a better indication of where teams are at.
